Is TikTok SPYING On You?

TikTok, the world's 6th most popular social media app, has been mired in controversy over its protection of user privacy and relationship with the Chinese government. In this video, we take a dive into those concerns, including how ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, is partially owned by the Chinese government. We also dive into how the app takes data from users and what happens to that data once it's taken. We wrap up with whether or not you should use TikTok.

Awesome video!
There's another thing that concerns me about the Tik Tok circle apps. Like for instance, there's the capcut video editing app, that's literally the best mobile video editor out there, and possibly one of te most downloaded on android and iphone app stores. So they're also collecting our data while we were editing our videos on this external app.

Thank you for the info. Not a TikTok fan at all!! I am concerned about security issues with this app.

1:24 but I love cringe! There’s actually some excellent creativity on TikTok. I keep looking for excuses to keep it. I mean, why would they care about me?
